There are better 'Don Giovannis' around than this 2013 production from Baden-Baden, primarily the Joseph Losey film, the 1990 Met production, the Karajan-conducted performance and the production with Cesare Siepi. Its story is dark, complex, suspenseful with a nice humorous touch at times, the characters are interesting (especially the titular character) and the music is wonderful, a case of not a bad aria, ensemble or note in the entire score. 'Don Giovanni' is not just one of Mozart's best but also one of my favourite operas of all time.
